Anticipate Taunting, The Great Baby and Klabel to set a strong tempo. EXTREMELY LUCKY (1) has hit the line nicely in his two runs back against similar opposition and should be ready to fire third-up out to 1200m. Has plenty of class and reunites with Pannell who gets the best out of him. Ready. KLABEL (4) is as consistent as they come. Missed by a lip here last start and now gets a good pull at the weights over some of his main rivals. Obvious threat. TAUNTING (2) was no match for the in-form Prairie Flower last start in the Durbridge Stakes. Has been freshened for his third-up assignment and can fight out the finish if he brings his A-game. MY KHALIFA (3) shocked punters first-up when sprinting hard to arrive just in time here two weeks ago. Concedes weight to a couple but has upside and deserves more respect this time. SUGGESTED PLAY: Extremely Lucky is ready to win.
